Chapter 141 My sister isn't perfect, please forgive her.
"why are you laughing?!"
Tu Chaoxi said irritably, "Let me tell you, this is how you treat a friend!"
"If Tu Xiaomao ever thinks of plucking the moon from the sky, are you just going to let her do as she pleases and even build her a ladder to heaven?"
Xu Chi's smile widened.
In Tu Chaoxi's eyes, he seemed completely unyielding.
"...Forget it, just find a place to drop me off. I still need to investigate that bastard Lin Qiuping!"
He considered it for a moment and decided that to justify the two idiots' fight and detention, he should start with Lin Qiuping.
There's a big difference between being detained for assaulting someone and being detained for assaulting a scumbag.
The car stopped with a "click" the next second.
Just as Tu Chaoxi was about to go downstairs, Xu Chi suddenly reached out and handed her a file folder.
The smile hadn't faded from his face when he said calmly, "All the information you're looking for is on there."
Tu Chaoxi was taken aback.
"you……"
He wouldn't assume that the young man in front of him just happened to appear at the police station entrance, just as he wouldn't assume that the information was given to him out of consideration for him.
For the first time, Tu Chaoxi's usually straightforward mind took a detour.
She frowned: "...Why are you so nice to my Tu Xiaomao?"
Whether it was a keen intuition or instinct, he emphasized the word "my home".
Xu Chi looked ahead, feeling that he could understand his elder brother, who was like an old father.
I couldn't bear to make things worse on a situation like today.
So she smiled slightly and said, "Probably because... she's my only friend."
The answer was flawless, and Tu Chaoxi barely suppressed those unnamed doubts.
"...Is that so?"
He took the document and flipped through it.
In an instant, his eyes stung so much that he almost burst into tears.
The information is almost complete, including all of Lin Yue's experiences over the past year.
His clumsiness and stubbornness caused him to suffer time and time again.
Tu Chaoxi murmured, "It was also my fault. If he hadn't said anything, I should have taken the initiative to ask and investigate."
Xu Chi's eyes flickered slightly, and he said calmly, "Teacher Tu, children like them are more used to independence and to giving without reservation. It's very difficult for you to suddenly make them learn to be dependent and selfish."
"Even if you had asked back then, Lin Yue might not have told you."
Even after investigation, Tu Chaoxi might not know how to get him to accept it.
Tu Chaoxi: "So?"
Xu Chi: "So Tu Xiaomao's initial strategy was correct: to get close, to witness, and to integrate."
Just like how she initially approached Tu Chaoxi and Nan Ke without reservation.
This is the purest and most useful method.
Although she doesn't understand, and can't even clearly perceive herself, nor can she fully comprehend Tu Chaoxi's current anger, she has already learned how to solve the problem.
She is not a perfect person; her flaws and strengths are both too obvious.
But she did nothing wrong.
"So if you're going to try to teach her, to 'discipline' her in your own way..."
Xu Chi smiled and said, "...Don't go too far."
Compared to other sports cars, the Lotus EVIJA has a relatively compact body space, which makes the young man's clear voice sound even clearer.
The undisguised favoritism in the language amplified countless times, circling endlessly inside the car before precisely landing in Tu Chaoxi's ears.
Tu Chaoxi frowned again, the doubts she had managed to suppress welling up once more.
"Is it your child or mine?!"
Xu Chi raised an eyebrow, suppressing a laugh, and remained silent.
After a while, Tu Chaoxi finally said, "Thanks."
Xu Chi smiled faintly: "Teacher Tu, this matter is not difficult to handle. Just pinpoint Lin Qiuping to the bottom. The difficulty lies in the fact that finding evidence one by one will prolong the timeline and is too slow."
He said meaningfully, "If that Miss Bai wants to do something in this extended timeline, it's impossible to guard against, so you should deal with it as soon as possible."
Tu Chaoxi was taken aback: "You also know it's Bai Chumeng?"
Xu Chi raised an eyebrow: "You already know."
...Good to know now. Luckily, none of the three brothers are idiots.
Otherwise, it would be too hard for Tu Xiaomao to handle everything diligently on his own.
...
When Nan Ke returned, he unsurprisingly saw Tu Yao and Lin Yue staring at each other.
Upon seeing him arrive, they both turned their heads simultaneously, gazing at him pitifully.
"...Second Brother".
The young man felt a sudden urge to laugh, yet also an unavoidable sadness.
He walked straight to the two of them, put his arm around them, and sat down.
I checked Lin Yue's leg first; there was a bruise, not too big, not too small, but very noticeable.
Nan Ke took out a medicine box and handed it over.
"Your older brother said you're not allowed to go out these next two days, so stay home obediently."
"I've already spoken to Lin Jing about it."
A hint of hesitation flashed in Lin Yue's eyes, but seeing Nan Ke's unprecedentedly serious expression, he still mumbled an "Mmm".
Nan Ke naturally looked at Tu Yao again.
The girl was wearing her usual yellow floral dress, looking no different from usual, youthful, simple, and pure.
She looked at him with a mixture of confusion and expectation.
Nan Ke sighed almost inaudibly: "You can't lie to Second Brother next time, understand?"
Tu Yao nodded, continuing to look at him expectantly, her confusion fading, replaced by a hint of obvious anxiety.
Nan Ke deliberately ignored it, glanced at the time, and prepared to return to school.
But as soon as she stood up, her clothes were grabbed.
"Second Brother!"
Tu Yao said urgently, "My brother and I know we were wrong. We shouldn't have done so many things behind your back."
Unlike Lin Yue's compromise and acceptance of the arrangement, his sister still had some insistence on her own.
Nan Ke sighed helplessly, "And then?"
Tu Yao: "Then you can't lock us up, can you? We won't hide it anymore, we can deal with the problem together, right?"
"Why don't you call your older brother back?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yue looked over expectantly.
Nan Ke sighed deeply and rubbed the heads of his two younger siblings. "...It's almost time. I have to go. You two stay here and don't wander off."
Then he walked out of the house without any hesitation.
Once the door closed, the two of them were left staring at each other.
Tu Yao sat back down in her original seat, staring blankly into space, letting the progress bar flash on and off.
...
Late at night, Tu Chaoxi returned home and went to see Lin Yue first.
Nan Ke's house was small, so they temporarily converted the study into a room for him to live in.
Lin Yue was so thin that he didn't look out of place lying on the small couch.
Tu Chaoxi lifted his trouser leg and looked at his calves in the dim light.
I couldn't help but sigh.
...I hit too hard.
A few minutes later, he gently pushed open Tu Yao's door and placed a heavy, floral-patterned bag on her pillow.
Tu Chaoxi sat down beside her bed and gazed at her for a long time.
He must have been scolded, because even in his sleep his sister was frowning and looked unhappy.
She probably hadn't figured out why he was angry even before she went to sleep.
Tu Chaoxi realized that he seemed to have forgotten what Tu Yao looked like after she turned five, as if he had skipped over those years in between.
She went from being a troublesome and unruly little girl to the brave, fearless, impulsive, and adorable big kid she is today.
Those years felt like a chaotic, nightmare.
Half an hour later, Tu Chaoxi walked out of the room and turned on her phone.
Unsurprisingly, a flood of news came rushing in.
They all came to see Tu Yao.
Even Cormier, who had already returned to France, made an international call.
For some reason, Tu Chaoxi clicked into a group chat that Ma Zhiyuan had created earlier, and the chat was already flooded with messages.
Xu Bai (Future Button Mushroom Cultivation Expert): [Hello, ma'am, are you still alive?]
Cheng Sangsang (final draft): [Tu Xiaomao, if you're still alive, say something.]
Ma Zhiyuan: [Hey, brat, do you need me to write a whitewash for you?]
Wen Yu: [Teacher Ma, that's called a clarification statement. My sister was definitely framed. She certainly didn't go to jail. What's there to whitewash?]
Ma Zhiyuan: [I've inquired; she squatted there, but only for half a day before coming out. So, don't act rashly to avoid getting yourself into trouble. Let me write a short essay first.]
Tu Chaoxi couldn't help but chuckle when he got to this point. His sister had even won over that idiot Ma Zhiyuan.
Xu Bai (Future Button Mushroom Cultivation Expert): [That makes sense. Should I go hire some online trolls?]
Cheng Sangsang (final version): [Didn't you only bring six figures with you? Is that enough? If not, I have nine figures!]
Wen Yu, Jiang Ye, and Ma Zhiyuan: [...]
Tu Chaoxi closed her eyes briefly, quickly stopping the discussion, and tapped the screen a few times.
Tu Chaoxi: [I will handle it.]
The next second, these people came back to life.
Tu Chaoxi didn't have time to look at it anymore. After exiting, he opened the homepage and sent a status update that he had prepared all day.
Then they left the house.
The problems that need to be addressed must be dealt with.
Those two idiots deserve a lesson.
